The Music Theory Society of the Mid-Atlantic will hold its 2008 annual meeting on Friday and Saturday, March 28-29, 2008, at the Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. The Society invites paper and panel discussion proposals on any aspect of music theory.
    
All presentations are limited to twenty (20) minutes, with ten (10) minutes for discussion.  Panel discussions should comprise three to four participants, each member giving formal remarks of no more than five minutes, thus allowing for discussion between the panelists and audience.

1.    Seven copies of your proposal. Proposals are limited to 500 words and no more than two pages in total. They must be double spaced, use a 10- to 12-point font, and stapled. Since all submissions will be read blind, neither the author nor the author’s institution is to be identified. E-mail submissions will not be accepted.

2.    A cover letter that includes the author’s name, institutional affiliation or city of residence, phone number(s), e-mail address, full return address, and equipment/arrangements needed. If applicable, indicate if you would like to be considered for the Dorothy Payne Best Graduate Student Paper Award & Prize. In the case of panel discussion, contact information for only one person is needed, but do include the names of all panelists, institutional affiliation or city of residence.

3.    One copy of a 200-250 word abstract suitable for inclusion in the MTSMA Web site and in the abstract booklet to be distributed at the meeting. Include your name and institution or city along with the abstract. If your proposal is selected, you will be required to submit the abstract as an email attachment.  If you wish, a self-addressed stamped postcard to notify you that your proposal was received.
